7 Hillary Clinton Scandals and Controversies

Hillary Clinton is a former first lady, served as a U.S. senator and was tapped by Barack Obama to serve as secretary of State. So she is a known quantity, so to speak, in American politics. She has been vetted so thoroughly by the press and her critics that her life is an open book.

And yet it seems like there is an awful lot we don’t know about Clinton. A new Hillary Clinton scandal or controversy emerges on a regular basis from the pages of conservative media and the airwaves of right-wing talkers, especially as she ramps up her campaign for president in the 2016 election.

10 Scandals Involving Hillary Clinton You May Have Forgotten

Hillary Clinton has been involved in scandals before. Here are some notable ones you may have forgotten.

Lootergate – Bill and especially Hillary started to ship White House furniture to their personal home in Chappaqua, N.Y.. The Clintons claimed they were donated, but at only some were proven to be donated and meant to stay in the White House after contacting the manufacturers. The Clintons returned some of the furniture after pressure was put on them to do so.

Hillary Defends Clinton Foundation — ‘My Work as Secretary of State Was Not Influenced By Any Outside Forces’

Friday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton defended the Clinton Foundation and her association with it during her tenure as secretary of state.

Clinton told co-host Mika Brzezinski it was on the up-and-up and claimed her work as secretary of state “was not influenced by any outside forces” with regards to their charitable foundation.

For those not familiar with the software, BleachBit is intended to help users delete files in a way to “prevent recovery” and “hide traces of files deleted.”

South Carolina Representative Trey Gowdy appeared on Fox News today and disclosed new details about the Clinton email scandal that seem to indicate intent to destroy evidence. Per the clip below, Gowdy reveals that Clinton used “BleachBit” to erase the “personal” emails from her private server.

Judicial Watch today announced that a federal court has ordered the State Department to review newly found Clinton emails and turn over responsive records by September 13. And, in two other Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits, the State Department is scheduled to release additional emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s non-state.gov email system beginning September 30. In a court filing this week, the State Department admitted it had found Benghazi-related documents among the 14,900 Clinton emails and attachments uncovered by the FBI that Mrs. Clinton deleted and withheld from the State Department.

In January 2015 a group of Haitians surrounded the New York offices of the Clinton Foundation. They chanted slogans, accusing Bill and Hillary Clinton of having robbed them of “billions of dollars.” Two months later, the Haitians were at it again, accusing the Clintons of duplicity, malfeasance, and theft. And in May 2015, they were back, this time outside New York’s Cipriani, where Bill Clinton received an award and collected a $500,000 check for his foundation. “Clinton, where’s the money?” the Haitian signs read. “In whose pockets?” Said Dhoud Andre of the Commission Against Dictatorship, “We are telling the world of the crimes that Bill and Hillary Clinton are responsible for in Haiti.”

Hillary Releases New Anti-Trump Ad Featuring KKK, White Supremacists

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tweeted a fiery new video attacking rival Donald Trump for his reported support among white nationalists, airing part of an interview with a prominent leader of the Ku Klux Klan.

“There’s a reason the most hateful fringe of the right wing is supporting Donald Trump,” Clinton writes in the Tweet.

KKK Grand Dragon Endorses Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has received more than $20,000 in donations contributed by members of the Ku Klux Klan, a prominent member of the hate group announced earlier this year.

Bloomberg Politics editor Mark Halperin hails Clinton Cash as “the Right’s greatest success story.” And that is why Hillary Clinton’s campaign has decided to throw a race-baiting temper tantrum aimed at lashing out at the news organization behind the Clinton Cash juggernaut, one that has coalesced into media outlets across the political spectrum calling for the Clinton Foundation’s immediate closure.

Indeed, Hillary’s latest desperate attempt to label 31 million Breitbart readers “racist” is easier to understand when viewed against the blistering devastation Clinton Cash–in all its varied forms–has inflicted on her campaign.

Clinton campaign finds legal loophole to collect big donations

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has found a work-around for the Democratic Party to accept donations beyond the $33,400 legal limit — despite the presidential candidate’s pledge to reform the campaign finance structure.

So is Hillary Clinton sick? It’s a fair question. I’m not just talking about those endless coughing fits, and that she always needs to be propped up on pillows when she sits, and requires help standing or climbing stairs.

Four years ago, she had a concussion, and a blood clot in her brain sent her to the hospital. Later, her head was still so injured that she was seeing double. That’s why she still wears those Fresnel prism glasses: to counter double-vision.

Have you seen that video of her apparently having a seizure while being asked a question? The Clinton spin doctors say that’s just a joke. Really?

When You See That Hillary Clinton Has Not Been Prosecuted, That Is ‘Elite Immunity’

Friday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Wikileaks editor in chief Julian Assange remarked on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton ability to avoid prosecution for her use of an improper email server, which it had been shown she used it to transmit classified emails.
